NASA is monitoring all kinds of climate statistics. The latest data on temperature show that August of this year was 2.14C degrees higher than a selected average of measurements from the 1880s until now. Small wonder that California is burning. The epic scale of the wildfires is growing with the increase in temperature and this year reached a shocking new milestone -- one of the fires, The August Complex, on the border between San Francisco and Oregon has burned more than 1 million acres. The total acres burned this year so far is double any previous figure, at a staggering 4 million acres burnt.
